That evening at the music hall, Kuifje and Haddock watch a performance by the opera singer Bianca Castafiore, which Bobbie turns into an impromptu duet.

He is then struck down by the curse like the others. At the hospital, Fleur and her mother sit by the bed of Heining. Kuifje arrives following Bergamot's attack, and Fleur asks him to help her 'papa'. Kuifje says he will, and leaves the hospital, whilst Fleur reassures her mother that everything will be alright because Kuifje will help them.

Act Two

, Kuife and Haddock ask whether anyone has seen Zonnebloem, but are met with "No sé" ("I don't know") from everyone. Kuifje and Bobbie intervene to stop two men bullying a child. The child, Zorrino, reveals that he is an orphan living on the streets. Kuifje cheers him up by making him a little boat out of newspaper. Zorrino reveals that he knows where Zonnebloem is – he has been taken to the Zonnetempel (the

They are blindfolded, and the Grote Inca (the Great Inca) declares that their punishment for profaning the temple is to die at the stake, but grants them one last wish : they are allowed to choose the day and hour of their deaths. Zorrino is separated from the others, visits them in their cell, and unfolds the little boat that Kuifje had made him. Kuifje reads the newspaper and finds their salvation. He tells the Incan guard that they wish to die in eighteen days' time. When the day comes, they are bound to the stake on the funeral pyre whilst a ceremony takes place. The Janssens arrive, having finally found Zonnebloem; they are also tied up. As they are about to be sacrificed, Kuifje "commands" the

Back in Peru, the Grote Inca adopts Zorrino, and as everyone comes together, the cast takes their bows. The curtain falls.

The Music

The show boasts an orchestral score composed by Dirk Brossé with lyrics by Seth Gaaikema and performed by Het Nationaal Orkest Van België (the National Orchestra of Belgium). There are around twenty different songs in the show, and a few reprises. The two main themes that run throughout the show are Haddock's (first heard when he performs the trick with the whisky, later heard in full at the docks) and ''De Zon'', or Kuifje's theme, sung first after his leaving the hospital and as a finale. Two CDs were released for the actual show – the first, a single of ''De Zon'' released on 9 April 2001 featured the actors playing Kuifje and Haddock, and a children's choir plus an

version of the song. It also contained interactive features and some desktop wallpapers. The second CD (released on 2 October 2001) was a full cast album for the show, containing 18 studio-recorded songs sung by the original cast. Most songs were present in their full versions as heard in the show, in the correct

order. However, four songs were omitted completely – one, ''Wandelen in de zon met Zonnebloem'' takes place in the garden of Bergamot's villa; two others are sung by Castafiore and are heard at Molensloot in the first act ''De Milanese Nachtegaal'', and in her dressing room in the second act ''Het leven is als een Opera''. The last one is Bruno's song ''Niets in mouw'' that lasts about 30 seconds in the show. None of the reprises were recorded for the cast album. A third CD released in 2002 contained a thirteen-minute orchestral suite based on some of the songs appearing in the show. The music was performed by the JWF Military Orchestra, conducted by Jørgen Jensen. It is listed in the Audio Releases section below. A fourth CD was recorded in 2007 during a try-out in Kursaal Oostende. This recording has 19 tracks and is different than the second CD. It also includes three of the songs that were omitted from the original cast album, these being ''Wandelen in de zon met Zonnebloem'', ''De Milanese Nachtegaal'' and ''Het leven is als een Opera'', but at the same time omits the song ''De Professorenwals''. 2 Radio tracks were added (Kuifje en Bobbie / De zon) so the total tracks on this CD is 21.

Performance details

*Première : 15 September 2001, at the Stadsschouwburg in

*Final performance : 17 February 2002, at the Stadsschouwburg in Antwerp The show itself is two hours and ten minutes long, excluding the interval. It was professionally filmed for Dutch television and broadcast in its edited form on Canal+, in widescreen. It featured additional digital effects, such as bats flying during the descent into the tomb. The edits removed some of the delays inevitable with a live show, and a couple of sequences such as Zonnebloem and Bergamot's waltz (but still appeared on the CD), which in the live show was necessary as a 'stage wait'. It has never seen a repeat broadcast or a commercial release, although personal recordings circulate amongst fans. In 2007 the musical came to stage again this time with Jelle Cleymans as Kuifje, first in Het nieuwe Luxor in
